Just got to my Funship 234 and drove it 200+ miles to lake in TN from KY. Everything ran fine when I put it on the hydrohoist a few weeks back. Got it to the lake, and the boat really won't pull or take off fast? I cannot figure out if a propeller problem or something else? Depth gauge not working right either. I wonder if something came loose in the drive or something else happened. Does anyone have any thoughts? I can get the engine up to 4000 rpm, but speed only about 20mph.
Thinking back on this...When you said you could get the engine up to 4,000 rpm's, do you mean in neutral, or in gear?
Reason I am asking...if you can rev the engine in neutral, but not in gear, then it is most likely a fuel issue.
If I was right in understanding you that you can rev it up to 4,000 while underway, in gear, then I stand that I think it is most likely a spun hub in the prop. (ie: shaft is spinning within the actual rubber hub of the propeller.)
